SUMMER TIME! Everyone is excited to be planning out what they will be doing over summer in the sun! This summer there is going to be an event held in California called the 'Youth Festival' on July 25th to 27th for kids all over the U.S. that are from Gujarat, India. In this event there will be so many different activities going on, it's going to be so exciting! The first day will be getting to know each other and more of a bonding thing. Then, there is going to be a t-shirt designing contest, singing competition, and a talent show (which I am performing in with a group of friends). Next day it's going to be a day filled with Garba performances, which is one of Gujarat's more traditional dances. I am also performing in that show with six other girls! Then the last day we will all be going sight seeing, to the beach, and to an amusement park and just hanging out with all the new friends everyone makes!
In this trip the most important performance for us is the Garba because it gets very intense. So the group has decided to do one of our old performances and just revise a couple things in it. Garba is most complicated because it is 10 times more active and energetic than regular dancing. The performance below is what I did with a group of girls for one of our holidays -- Diwali. We are going to use this performance and tweak it a bit so that its good for 7 people and then perfect it for the festival in July! We can NOT wait to be there performing this summer!
